 A 12-year-old boy caught in the act Friday as he put a homemade bomb under a road in the volatile Zhari District grabbed a baby as a human shield to protect himself from attack from the United States helicopter that spotted him. The incident, in an area where U.S. forces operate under Canadian command, appears to be part of a Taliban strategy to use youngsters as lookouts or human shields, or to carry out attacks, because they know NATO rules of engagement make troops extremely reluctant to open fire in such situations. There have been 29 incidents in which children have helped commit attacks or otherwise abetted the Taliban in Afghanistan's four southern provinces since March, according to a document provided by the Canadian military. Eight of the incidents have taken place this month. Among them were three blasts in Kandahar in the past few weeks in which as many as 12 Afghan children were blown up as they were being taught how to make or place improvised explosive devices - the greatest killer of coalition troops in Afghanistan. "The Taliban are obviously manipulating children and using them as cannon fodder," said Major Robert Dunn of Ottawa, who oversees operations in southern and western Kandahar. "There is one place west of Kandahar City where they shoot at us every day through a shield of children. They actually stack them up, with 8-year-olds at the front and 15-year-olds at the back."

 Yitzhak Benhorin Israeli ambassador to the UN Gabriella Shalev on Tuesday filed an official complaint with Secretary-General Ban-Ki-moon over what she said was Hezbollah's violation of Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the war between Israel and the Shiite group in 2006. The compliant referred to Monday evening's explosion at the home of a Hezbollah operative in south Lebanon, which according to Israel proved the Shiite group was illegally storing weapons south of the Litani River in violation of the UN resolution.
Shalev mentioned another explosion which took place at a Hezbollah arms cache three months ago. "In the aftermath of the explosion, Hizbullah operatives sealed off the area and, according to reliable information, used two trucks to remove evidence from the scene to a nearby village three kilometers from Tyre Filsi," Shalev wrote in the complaint letter. The ambassador said Hezbollah was using residents of villages in south Lebanon as human shields. "The aforementioned incidents leave no doubt regarding Hizbullah’s modus operandi to place its military weapons and facilities in civilian villages and houses. Such use of civilians as human shields endangers their safety," Shalev wrote. Earlier Tuesday the IDF released footage showing weapons being loaded onto trucks near the home of Hezbollah operative Abdel Nasser Issa in the southern Lebanon village of Tayr Filsi, on the outskirts of Tyre. Issa and his son were reportedly killed Monday evening during an explosion that took place inside their home, which the IDF claims was used to store weapons. Shalev said in the complaint that elements in the Lebanese army were purposely ignoring the rebuilding of Hezbollah's infrastructure, adding that Israel considers the Lebanese government responsible for any incident that occurs in its territory and therefore expects it to take necessary measures to prevent Hezbollah's rearmament in south Lebanon. The ambassador demanded that UNIFIL forces stationed in south Lebanon launch an investigation into Monday's blast and called on the Security Council to address Hezbollah's rearmament when it convenes at the end of the month to discuss the implementation of Resolution 1701. Shalev urged the Security Council to disarm Hezbollah and enforce the weapons embargo on Lebanon.

 By AHARON LESHNO YA'AR Edited from the speech given by Israel's ambassador to the UN before the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday. Five years ago, in a remarkable gesture of peace, Israel removed every one of its soldiers and over 8,000 civilians from the Gaza Strip.
And the states of the Human Rights Council (HRC), applauded this unprecedented measure.
They told us in no uncertain terms that in the nightmare scenario that terror would take root, they would back us in our inherent right to self-defense. Five years later, the greenhouses we left behind had been ransacked by Hamas, over 8,000 rockets and mortars had been fired on schools and kindergartens in Sderot and other Israeli towns, and an unceasing supply of weaponry was smuggled through tunnels into Gaza from terror-sponsoring states like Iran. Israel's urgent appeals to the international community were to no avail, and our attempts to extend a fragile cease-fire were met with new, increased barrages of missiles from Hamas. All the while the range of the attacks was increasing. Now Ashkelon and Beersheba were within reach. One million Israelis had to live within seconds of a bomb shelter. The decision to launch a military operation is never easy. It is even more challenging when we have to face an enemy that intentionally deploys its forces in densely populated areas and launches rockets from crowded school yards and mosques. These are new and horrendous challenges, and we sought to deal with them responsibly and humanely. Yet when we dropped millions of leaflets and made thousands of phone calls to warn civilians in advance of operations, we were witness to the callous and deliberate Hamas tactic of sending women and children onto the rooftops of terrorist headquarters and weapons factories.
In such cases, missions were aborted, letting the terrorists escape. Israel protected Palestinian civilians that Hamas had put at risk. Read more here,,,, Source: JPost
 As intense fighting continued across Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, thousands of civilians fled the Swat Valley and Buner yesterday, taking advantage of a brief relaxation in military-imposed curfews. The former tourist region of Swat has experienced the deadliest fighting between militants and the military since February, when a peace deal was struck to end the Taliban's 18-month campaign for imposition of sharia law. At least 35 militants had died in fighting, as had nine Pakistani soldiers, the military reported. About 36 civilians have been killed in crossfire or by army snipers for breaching curfew. Security officials said Taliban fighters had begun entering houses in Swat's main town, Mingora, and were using residents as human shields. The Government insists no formal army operation has begun in Swat, the stronghold of Taliban in the NWFP, and that all military action was retaliatory. But in Buner district, where the military's Operation Black Thunder is in its second week, the civilian toll is mounting fast. A few kilometres from Buner, a makeshift refugee checkpoint clogs the main highway to Mardan. Mini-buses, trucks and tractors line the road competing with registration tents, soup kitchens and health clinics - all catering to thousands of displaced people who arrive each day. Officials say at least 5000 have registered in recent days. From overcrowded vehicles piled with blankets, bags and livestock, exhausted men, women and children spill out. At a checkpoint on the border with Swabi, an elderly teacher said many of the houses in his upper eastern Buner village of Kalpani, had been destroyed since the "military invasion" began on Monday. On that day four army tanks rolled into town. At least one has since been blown up. The man gave his name but asked that it not be used, fearing Taliban reprisals. While his school was untouched by the Taliban, many of the girls' schools in his village were laid with mines. Thousands have lost homes and livelihoods, some their lives. But as far as he knows, no Taliban. "We are between the militants and the military," he told The Australian. "We're running from both of them." A young farmer from Chamla, at the gateway to Buner, who arrived four days ago with his young family, said at least 10 Taliban fighters entered his village last month, brandishing AK47s, rocket launchers and grenades. "They told us, 'You should defy the Government. In case of non-compliance you will face serious consequences'," he said. "People are afraid of the Taliban. When they came to our village no one dared speak to them." A Swabi college lecturer helping out with registrations said people across the NWFP were scared for their country. "On the one hand, we have a nuclear bomb and on the other we have a begging bowl," he said. "The dictators have made us a nation of beggars." But Bakht Salam, a farmer from the town of Batch Katta, said he did not leave his home for fear of the Taliban. "They don't scare us," he said. "We're scared of the military." His family fled on foot with 12 other families, after the military sent in F16s and helicopter gunships to bomb and strafe his town and the surrounding hills, where Taliban were suspected to be hiding. They left behind their belongings and a wheat harvest. "We brought nothing with us. There was no time because people are stranded in their houses and when they lift the curfew you just have to run," he said. Several people who broke the curfew, including two mentally disabled children, were shot by the army, he said. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Social Welfare Minister Sitara Ayaz appealed for international aid this week to care for the swelling ranks of displaced. Mr Zardari said Pakistan faced "the world's largest internal displacement" and that without aid, the camps and communities that host the more than one million left homeless by the fighting would become militant recruitment grounds. Independent defence analyst Ayesha Siddiqua said the lack of military strategy and human collateral damage could make the NWFP a no-go zone for the rest of Pakistan. Source: The Australian

RIGHT now we are on the cusp of one of the great punctuation marks of humanity.
Soon, millions of lives could be changed in a moment and we and our children might face an unutterably grim future.
One thing's for sure.
It is incumbent on this generation - us, and now - to act to set things right.
Leave this job to our children?
Those who survive will never forgive us.
I'm not talking about the global financial meltdown.
We might all lose our jobs, but after long ago reading John Kenneth Galbraith's Money: Whence It Came, Where it Went, I am convinced, economic dill though I am, that we are experiencing the bottom of the Ferris wheel of a financial euphoria that laps us from time to time.
But much darker events are unfolding.
The clock on this particular nightmare started ticking last Wednesday when Iran's first nuclear power plant was tested.
The Iranians will tell you they just want to generate power.
Western security experts are convinced that the deceitful, dissembling and dishonest Iranian leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose measureless hate for the West, Israel in particular, manifests itself regularly, plans nuclear arms and to aim them at Tel Aviv.
Of Israel, he says: "The Islamic world will not let its historical enemy live in its heartland."
Of us?
"Anyone who recognises Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nations' fury".
The West and Israel "will vanish, this is a divine promise".
Ahmadinejad is quite clear about his intentions.
Only a fool would fail to see the means by which he plans to execute them.
Then President-elect Barack Obama said in November that the US needed "to ratchet up tough but direct diplomacy with Iran".
At that stage he still believed you could negotiate on an intellectual level with the Iranian leadership.
But since then something has changed and Iran should be wary of the signs, because the most influential Clinton in the White House does not wear a dress.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may well have last week appointed Dennis Ross to be special adviser on the Gulf and Middle East - with a clear focus on Iran - but it betrays the certain hand of her husband, for whom Ross once worked.
Three months ago Obama was keen to talk to the Iranians.
Insiders now say Bill Clinton, who tried and failed, wants the Iranian issue dealt with forcefully in Obama's first term and that the new President is listening.
And that is good news for the rest of us, because Iran is believed by Western security services to be within two years of being able to launch a nuclear strike.
Last week a fascinating man passed through Melbourne almost unnoticed, but I managed to catch up with him to share some fearful insights about his country and our future.
Danny Yatom is retired now, but for many years he served in the Israeli secret services and anti-terrorism squads, rising to be the boss of Mossad.
He retired from politics last year after serving in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, for five years.
He is depressingly convinced of Iran's intentions and is uniquely qualified to assess them.
"Iran remains the greatest threat to world peace," he told me.
"Many regimes in the world make the mistake of thinking and believing that a nuclear-armed Iran is a sole Israeli problem; it is a problem for the entire world."
Yatom believes a nuclear-armed Iran will likely choose to flex its muscle and will also be a threat to the Gulf states.
Iran is already equipped with missiles covering a range of 2500km.
They could fire off rockets this afternoon that would reach the outskirts of Vienna.
"They are in the process of building missiles that will be able to cover 4000km," says Yatom.
"That's almost to London from western Iran.
"The most important thing today is to bring the Americans and the Europeans to understand that it cannot be only the problem of the Israelis."
And confirmation that the Europeans are beginning to understand has come from an unlikely source - the so often unreliable French.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the United Nations that "allowing Iran to arm itself with nuclear weapons would be an unacceptable risk to stability in the region and in the world".
Yatom points to Iran's defiance of international laws as evidence it is less interested in bringing power to its villages than in demonstrating power over its neighbours.
"Well, you know they act against all the international decisions, they continue to enrich uranium.
``They do not try to hide it, and explicitly they say it is their right to enrich uranium."
Any attack on Iran's known nuclear sites, particularly at Natanz, south of the capital Tehran, will be from the air - although because they have been hidden beneath the sand, ground troops will also likely be involved.
Such attacks will necessarily involve many civilian casualties.
Iran has, at terrific expense, buried its nuclear "power plants" mostly beneath population centres.
What a great idea. If only we had thought to dig big holes to hide the unsightly Hazelwood and Loy Yang power stations. It never occurred to us!
When the Iranian-backed Hamas recently fought Israel soldiers in Gaza, they hid munitions in sensitive buildings and fired rockets from hospitals and schools, using the locals, especially children, as human shields.
Iran does this on a grand scale at home.
When the time comes, many innocents will die.
Ahmadinejad knows this well.
Indeed, he's planned for it. Source: Herald Sun H/T: Cody
 "We, your brothers, holy war fighters used this house.
Our apologies."By Aaron Klein HERZLIYA, Israel – More tales are emerging of the ways Hamas utilized civilians during Israel's 22-day war against the terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, including accounts from Gaza residents who accuse Hamas of using them as human shields. In one case, after engaging with terrorists holed up inside a civilian apartment complex, the Israel Defense Forces seized an Arabic-language note left behind, addressed to one of the apartment's occupants. "Greetings, honored residents of this house," reads the note, obtained by WND. "We, your brothers, holy war fighters used this house and some of the things in it. Our apologies." Last week, the Sydney Morning Herald interviewed Muhammad Shriteh, a Gaza-based ambulance driver, who complained Hamas would "lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety."

 Members of a Gaza family whose farm was turned into a "fortress" by Hamas fighters have reported that they were helpless to stop Hamas from using them as human shields.
They told the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper that for years Hamas had used their property and homes as military installations from which the group would launch rockets into Israel, dig tunnels and store arms.
According to the victims, those who tried to object were shot in the legs by Hamas operatives.
Palestinian Media Watch quoted the official Palestinian Authority daily, Al-Hayat al-Jadida as reporting on January 27, "The Abd Rabbo family kept quiet while Hamas fighters turned their farm in the Gaza strip into a fortress. Right now they are waiting for the aid promised by the [Hamas] movement after Israel bombed the farm and turned it into ruins."
According to the report, the hill on which the Abd Rabbo family lives overlooks Sderot, making it an ideal military position for Hamas fighters.
The Abd Rabbo family members emphasized to the paper that they were not Hamas activists and that they were still loyal to the Fatah movement, but that they had been unable to prevent the armed squads from entering their neighborhood at night.

Don't play into the deadly, cynical ploy of Hamas and blame Israel.
As Israel persists in its military efforts -- by ground, air and sea -- to protect its citizens from deadly Hamas rockets, and as protests against Israel increase around the world, the success of the abominable Hamas double war crime strategy becomes evident. The strategy is as simple as it is cynical: provoke Israel by playing Russian roulette with its children, firing rockets at kindergartens, playgrounds and hospitals; hide behind its own civilians when firing at Israeli civilians; refuse to build bunkers for its own civilians; have the TV cameras ready to transmit every image of dead Palestinians, especially children; exaggerate the number of civilians killed by including as "children" Hamas fighters who are 16 or 17 years old and as "women," female terrorists.
Hamas itself has a name for this. They call it "the CNN strategy" (this is not to criticize CNN or any other objective news source for doing its job; it is to criticize Hamas for exploiting the freedom of press which it forbids in Gaza).
The CNN strategy is working because decent people all over the world are naturally sickened by images of dead and injured children. When they see such images repeatedly flashed across TV screens, they tend to react emotionally. Rather than asking why these children are dying and who is to blame for putting them in harms way, the average viewer, regardless of their political or ideological perspective, wants to see the killing stopped. They blame those whose weapons directly caused the deaths, rather than those who provoked the violence by deliberately targeting civilians. They forget the usual rules of morality and law.
For example, when a murderer takes a hostage and fires from behind his human shield, and a policeman, in an effort to stop the shooting accidentally kills the hostage, the law of every country holds the hostage taker guilty of murder even though the policeman fired the fatal shot. The same is true of the law of war. The use of human shields, in the way Hamas uses the civilian population of Gaza, is a war crime -- as is its firing of rockets at Israeli civilians. Every human shield that is killed by Israeli self defense measures is the responsibility of Hamas, but you wouldn't know that from watching the media coverage.
The CNN strategy seems to work better, at least in some parts of the world, against Israel that it would against other nations.
There are many more protests -- and fury -- directed against Israel when it inadvertently kills fewer than 100 civilians in a just war of self defense, than against Arab and Muslim nations and groups that deliberately kill far more civilians for no legitimate reason.
It isn't the nature of the victims, since more Arabs and Muslim civilians are killed every day in Africa and the Mid East by Arab and Muslim governments and groups with little or no protests. (For example, on the first day of Israel's ground attack, approximately 30 Palestinians, almost all Hamas combatants, were killed. On the same day an Islamic suicide bomber blew herself up in a mosque in Iraq, killing 40 innocent Muslims. No protests. Little media coverage.)
It isn't the nature of the killings, since Israel goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid killing civilians -- if for no other reason than that it hurts their cause -- while Hamas does everything in its power to force Israel to kill Palestinian civilians by firing its missiles from densely populated civilian areas and refusing to build shelters for its civilians. It isn't the nature of the conflict, because Israel is fighting a limited war of self defense designed to protect its own civilians from rocket attacks, while most of those killed by Arabs and Muslims are killed in genocidal and tribal warfare with no legitimate aim.
The world simply doesn't seem to care when Arabs and Muslims kill large numbers of other Arabs and Muslims, but a qualitatively different standard seems to apply when the Jewish state kills even a relatively small number of Muslims and Arabs in a war of self defense.
The international community doesn't even seem to care when Palestinian children are killed by rocket fire -- unless it is from Israeli rockets.
The day before the recent outbreak, Hamas fired an anti-personnel rocket at Israeli civilians but the rocket fell short of its target and killed two Palestinian girls. Yet there was virtually no coverage and absolutely no protests against these "collateral" civilian deaths. Hamas refused to allow TV cameras to show these dead Palestinian children, who were killed by their own rockets. Nor have there been protests against the cold blooded murders by Hamas and its supporters of dozens of Palestinian civilians who allegedly "collaborated" with Israel.
Indeed Hamas and Fatah have killed far more Palestinian civilians over the past several years than have the Israeli, but you wouldn't know that from the media, the United Nations or protesters who focus selectively on only those deaths caused by Israeli military actions.
The protestors who fill the streets of London, Paris and San Francisco were nowhere to be seen when hundreds of Jewish children were murdered by Palestinian terrorists over the years.
Moreover, the number of civilians killed by Israel is almost always exaggerated. First, it widely assumed that if a victim is a "child" or a "woman", he or she is necessarily a civilian.
Consider the following report in Thursday's NY Times: "Hospital officials in Gaza said that of the more than 390 people killed by Israeli fighter planes since Saturday, 38 were children and 25 women." Some of these children and women were certainly civilians but others were equally certainly combatants: Hamas often uses 14, 15, 16 and 17 year olds as well as women as terrorists.
Israel is entitled, under international law, to treat these children and women as the combatants they have become. Hamas cannot, out of one side of its mouth, boast that it recruits children and women to become terrorists, and then, out of the other side of its mouth, complain when Israel takes them at their word. The media should look closely and critically at the number of claimed civilian victims before accepting self-serving and self-contradictory exaggerations.
By any objective count, the number of genuinely innocent civilians killed by the Israeli Air Force in Gaza is lower than the collateral deaths caused by any nation in a comparable situation.
Hamas does everything in its power to provoke Israel into killing as many Palestinian civilians as possible, in order to generate condemnation against the Jewish state. They have gone so far as firing rockets from Palestinian schoolyards and hiding their terrorists in Palestinian maternity wards. Lest there be any doubt about the willingness of Hamas to expose their families to martyrdom, remember that the Hamas terrorist leader recently killed in an Israeli air attack sent his own son to be a suicide bomber and then refused to allow his family to leave their house even after learning that he and his house had been placed on the list of military targets.
Nor is this double standard -- applied to Israel on the one hand, and Arab and Muslim nations and groups on the other hand -- limited to the current situation in Gaza. It has provided an excuse for the international community to remain silent in the face of massive human rights violations including genocides perpetrated by Arabs and Muslims around the world for years. Many of those who protest Israeli self-defense actions remain silent in the face of real genocides -- such as that in Darfur.
The reality is that the elected and de facto government of Gaza has declared war against Israel. Under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, they have committed an "armed attack" against the Jewish state.
The Hamas charter calls for Israel's total destruction. Under international law, Israel is entitled to take whatever military action is necessary to repel that attack and stop the rockets. It must seek to minimize civilian deaths consistent with the legitimate military goal, and it is doing precisely that, despite Hamas efforts to maximize civilian deaths on both sides.
The best outcome for purposes of producing peace would be the destruction or substantial weakening of Hamas, which rejects the two-state solution. Israel and the Palestinian Authority could then agree on a peace that would end both the Israeli occupation and the rocketing of Israeli civilians. Source: AISH CNN

He also said that the release of videocassettes showing Hamas members digging secret tunnels beneath Gaza residents' homes permits Israel to excuse their strikes on the homes, and called on Hamas members to keep their distance from populated places, and to protect the lives of the citizens instead of using them.

LAST MONTH'S commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provided the occasion to ask difficult questions about societies whose political leadership serially violates them. What, for instance, is to be done about places like Darfur or Zimbabwe, or any one of a multitude of places governed by leaders whose consciences appear untouched by the suffering they are causing? To the list of grotesque human rights violators must be added Hamas, whose disdain for the suffering its policies cause the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip is exceeded only by its open, and even proud, infliction of atrocities on Israeli civilians.
This year alone, Hamas, which expressly calls for the obliteration of Israel, has launched approximately 3,000 rockets and mortar bombs into Israeli civilian centers, always for the purpose of killing and maiming Israelis if possible, and terrifying those who are not actually hit. In the last week or so, Hamas has fired some 200 rockets and bombs into Israeli communities.
Under these circumstances - circumstances which would have continued without end had the Israelis failed to act - it seems clear that the Israeli military response was not merely a necessary one. It was, regrettably, the only one left.
Israeli author Amos Oz, whose call for peace with the Palestinians is shared by a majority of Israelis, succinctly described the brutalization of Israeli civilians in terms that cannot fairly be disputed. In a recent piece entitled "Israel Must Defend Its Citizens," the longtime advocate for reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis wrote: "The systematic bombing of the citizens in Israel's towns and cities is a war crime and a crime against humanity."
Oz is correct.
But it isn't only Israelis whose fundamental human rights Hamas is violating. It is those of the Palestinian population about whose welfare Hamas professes to care.
In direct contravention of international law, Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields, utilizing homes, schools and community centers as launching pads, content in the knowledge that if innocent Palestinian civilians are caught in the cross-fire, it will be Israel that is criticized. This amounts to a sort of Daily Double of human rights violations: the use of innocent Palestinians as human shields for the infliction of violence upon innocent Israelis.
It is Hamas that perfected the use of the suicide bomb, by which young Palestinians were induced to kill themselves so that Israelis could also be killed. It is somehow apt that Hamas should be forever associated with the suicide bomb, for in a larger sense Hamas has proved to be an instrument of the demise of Palestinians in Gaza.
Hamas's persistent call for the annihilation of Israel through jihad, its unequivocal rejection of any peace with Israel under any circumstances, its seizure of Gaza through a coup d'etat, its repression of women and freedom of expression, and its embrace of Iran have all disgusted the international community, which will have little to do with it. Hamas has likewise repelled numerous Arab governments, which might otherwise have been expected to dip into their ample reserves of petrodollars to provide much-needed aid and foreign investment to Gaza, but which have steered clear of it.
Thus Hamas leads the Gazan population on a kamikaze course. The suffering of Gazans cannot conceivably be a genuine concern of the leadership, given the perpetuation of that suffering for which Hamas is responsible. And the suffering of Israelis is its avowed goal.
Whether it was South Africa or Sudan, the international community has understood that the way to deal with truly egregious human rights violators is not to placate them, but to speak the truth about them, and to them. If the truth is spoken plainly enough, and forcefully enough, to a Hamas leadership whose cruelty and callousness have reached alarming levels, it may be that the Palestinians and Israelis alike may be spared further suffering of the kind to which they have been relegated in the past.

Fathi Hammad: [The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: "We desire death like you desire life." Read more ... / View clip.Source: MEMRIH/T: Atlas
